(Part 2) - Blog Entry30 May 2007 03:17 PM Hey Valorie! I taught Saxon math until this year when we adopted a new series. It is so bad that many teachers are still pulling out left over Saxon! I liked Saxon in lower grades but hated it in Pre-Algebra! Like you said you can't really skip and I didn't like the order things were taught in. For example, it would teach how to solve for a variable by adding or subtracting then go to finding the area of a triangle then six lessons later finding a variable by multiplying and dividing. I also didn't think it gave enough practice in harder concepts such as mulitpying binomials, etc. The PreAlgebra series got o caught up in using difficult names and vocabulary that my students sometimes got lost in the wording and missed the point of the word problems. I liked the manipulatives in the primary series though. Great articles! Shocking School Discovery - Blog Entry29 May 2007 03:44 PM Great points, ladies! Can you imagine the smell in August?
